A Rogue to Ruin (The Untouchables: The Pretenders #3) by Darcy Burke         

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved that bad boy Rafe Blackwell (Bowles) met the woman he finds irresistible in a bookstore. Anne Pemberton has suffered a setback, well really a close escape, when her fiancé turns out to be a crook, an extortionist. She was left at the altar. (Rafe was involved in this). Needless to say society places their disapproval on Anne.

Anne’s not worried. “Much to [her] parents’ horror, she’d declared herself a spinster and moved into a house in Cavendish Square owned by her friend Phoebe, who was now the Marchioness of Ripley.”

Unfortunately her godfather is worried by her declaration of independence and seems to be pushing her towards engaging in social events. 

Meanwhile Rafe is hiding a secret, a tawdry background in the underbelly of London, abut how he arrived there and who he is is clouded. He has been searching for information he can only see in dreams.

As Rafe and Anne become more closely involved with each other their world is about to be shocked.

A pleasing read where secrets have power and surface impressions are not always true.
